Send

The send command is only available to administrators. You must issue the admin login command before using the send command.

The send command allows you to email a ListManager document to any number of email addresses. For instance, if you receive a request to join a private list, you might want to send the applicant a document describing the guidelines for being allowed into the mailing list. Or, if you have an announcement you would like to make to a number of people, you can use the send command to send a "one time message" to them, without the work of creating a mailing list.

The syntax of send command is:

send document-name email-address [email-address] …

The document-name must be a currently existing ListManager document.

You can also use line-continuation characters to specify as many email addresses as you like, without being restricted by the length of a line.

For example:

send I_am_going_on_vacation \
john@example.com \
jane@example.com \
bob@example.com \
robert@example.com

or

send I_am_going_on_vacation <<
john@example.com
jane@example.com
bob@example.com
robert@example.com
>>

The From: and Reply-To: of the message sent is by default the email address and name that you are issuing the send command from. If you would like the From: and Reply-To: to be something else, you can use the become command to assume another identity, and then use the send command with that identity.
